Super Rugby kicks into gear again soon as the focus shifts down south, with rugby fans spoilt for choice over the next few months. Here’s a look at one of Super Rugby’s greatest ever players, in one of his best ever years.
This video was posted earlier today on the official Blues website and while it’s got some questionable music and no original commentary unfortunately, it’s still worth having a look at as it shows some of Spencer’s most memorable moments in that famous blue jumper.
In 2003 the Auckland Blues won the Super 12 title, and their team was littered with talent, particularly in the backs. Joe Rokocoko had one of his best ever years, and as if that wasn’t enough to deal with for opposition defenders, they also had a guy named Rupeni Caucau to contend with.
Doug Howlett, Rico Gear, and Mils Muliaina were also floating about, not to mention Spencer, who controlled the ship beautifully from ten and thanks to his formiddable forward pack, had a platform from which to launch their lethal back division.
Spencer ran circles around the opposition and had one of his best ever seasons, producing moments of magic that will never be forgotten by those who were privileged enough to watch him at play. Those who have followed his career will fondly remember him as one of the greatest entertainers the game has seen.
Nowadays King Carlos is giving back, and doing a great job, as backline coach at the Lions in Johannesburg. Enjoy the video, and check out the related posts for more Spencer magic.
